People who are more likely to encounter bears should carry bear spray and be prepared to use it immediately, Montana FWP said. If you do see a bear, never approach it and leave the area when it is safe to do so, the agency said<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/kerry-breen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kerry  Breen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kerry Breen is a news editor at CBSNews.com.
